Yes. I gave on UB Giving Day last year and last week (to men's basketball and every other team) and to the collective its on opening day at the Hall of Fame level, on a monthly basis, to increase the amount over a one time payment for that level. Look at the website, it for all sports. You were going to try to set up a collective and I believe were going to donate to it. You asked me for money and I said I would donate if you set one up, without any questions as to what the 990 would show. The first 990 will not have to be filed until possibly as late as September of 2025. That will mean your money, if you ever donate will not be available for NIL purposes until almost all of the recruiting for freshmen and transfers for the fall of 2026 is done. For someone who wanted to set up a collective, your wallet appears to be very very tight. People are either part of the solution or part of the problem. They are either working for the goal or against it. I will let others figure out what side you are on. I have known two of the five board members for years. They are in it because they bleed blue and white and not for any glory or money. They and I want UB Athletics to succeed and we have all stepped up to the plate. You have to trust people sometimes. So step up and donate or stop complaining that there is no NIL money or money for the programs to spend on needs to make UB more attractive to freshmen and transfers.

I understand your position. How the NIL money is spent depends on where it is donated to. I believe it works as follows; if you make the tax deductible donation, it will go to athletes who help out at non-profits. If you donate to the corporate side, the money will go to an athlete who reaches some sort of endorsement arrangement with the corporate donor. The question was not directed at you or to posters in general. It was directed at TheCommish, who was complaining about a lack of a NIL collective and wanted to set one up working with other people. But then as soon as an "official" UB NIL collective is set up he is complaining about it and looking for reasons to not donate to it.

All five of the directors are doing the work for the collective for free. They are donating their time and effort. There is no need to wait for the 990 to check for salaries. Three of the five are former UB athletes. So when can they expect your contribution?

She is an adjunct professor. She is not an employee of St. Bonaventure.

You mean helping her alma mater?

I am in at the Nickel City Hall of Fame level. Are you, at any level?

The NIL is here: https://nickelcitynil.com/

Expect an announcement tomorrow on NIL from UB.

The PAC2, will have no bids in any sport as a two team "conference". They are not even a real conference in the NCAA next year. A conference needs six members, which is why Johns Hopkins is in the Big 10 in lacrosse.

I am pretty sure that as a Canadian he cannot get NIL money. All foreign students, except possibly Canadians, cannot get NIL money because it is work. They are only allowed in the country as students.

He has been all the way to Rhode Island as well.

I am not sure that I would want to follow Calipari. Leaves UMass followed by NCAA violations. Leaves Memphis Followed by NCAA violations. Leaves Kentucky... I think the only head coaching job he had that he left that was not sanctioned by the NCAA was the Nets.
